Status of BIPV and BAPV System for Less Energy-Hungry Building in India—A Review
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. PV Technologies for BIPV/BAPV
3. Building Integrated and Applied Photovoltaic (BIPV/BAPV) Technologies
4. Potential of BIPV/BAPV in India
5. Perspective and Discussion
Future Pathway of BIPV/BAPV in India
6. Conclusions
- Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) replaces traditional building envelop, such as window, wall, roof and most often they are thin film, or third-generation based transparent or semi-transparent in nature.
- Building attached/applied photovoltaic (BAPV) indicates when PV systems are attached to a building without replacing its traditional envelops.
- India’s solar mission which geared up from 2015, accelerated the rooftop PV integration. For building, the rooftop application’s majority are BAPV types and capacity higher than kW level. India’s total installed solar capacity reached only 33.8 GW by the end of September 2019, which is way behind to achieve India’s 40 GW rooftop PV power generation by 2022.
- New technologies, such as PV tiles, foil and windows, as part of BIPV or BPAV, are not popular in India.
- Indian electricity market needs a complete reform to allow smooth penetration of BIPV/BAPV in building. Also, due to rapid urbanization and development of zero and sustainable building industry, BIPV will keep pace in India soon.
- Single and double glass BIPV window systems have been identified as one of the most potential candidates for India.
